Daintree Life Revegetation

Daintree Life Revegetation, Australia

Our project restores key areas like old service roads and weedy reserves to increase habitat for wildlife such as Southern Cassowaries and Bennetts Tree-kangaroos. We select sites based on access, community input, and their potential for creating wildlife corridors. Our goal is to plant 500,000 indigenous trees by 2030, with nearly 20,000 already planted since 2018 to help regenerate the Daintree Rainforest.

Species Highlight - these are the fruits of the Hairy Red Pittosporum (Pittosporum rubiginosum). These beautiful understory plants are a regular addition to many of our planting area. With prolific fruiting they are a great bird attractant to our sites and with the birds coming into

In these challenging times, the weeds don't stop growing, and maintenance goes on. This photograph was taken today with Dave hard at work. Appropriately socially distanced from anyone (except Connie) and trimming the edge of one of our planting areas with 'snippy' the brushcutter.

would love to visit the reserve in the future. 

We use a petrol driven post hole auger to drill all our holes. Here is Dave drilling holes previously on our Silkwood Road project. On average we can dig around 100 holes per hour using this method.
